Ukrainian Spy Agency Allegedly Targets Key Russian Trade Route in Escalating Tensions
In a startling development that highlights the intensifying conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Ukrainian media outlets reported on Friday that Ukraine's spy agency orchestrated two consecutive explosions on a crucial Siberian railroad connecting Russia and China. The attacks, purportedly carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), targeted the Baikal-Amur Mainline, a vital trade conduit for Moscow.
While Ukrainian Pravda and other sources cited unidentified Ukrainian law enforcement officials, the SBU has yet to confirm the reports. The alleged special operation focused on detonating trains carrying fuel on the Baikal-Amur Mainline, a route stretching from southeastern Siberia to the Pacific Ocean.
The first explosion occurred in the Severonomuisky tunnel in Buryatia, resulting in a blaze that took hours to control. Russian news outlets confirmed the incident but offered no official explanation. The 15.3-kilometer tunnel, the longest in Russia, witnessed a significant disruption.
A subsequent explosion targeted another fuel-laden train on a bypass route, crossing a high bridge over a deep gorge. The Ukrainian reports outlined the events, yet Russian authorities have remained silent on the second explosion.
Ukrainian authorities have been vocal about their ability to strike targets deep inside Russia in response to Moscow's aggression. Past attacks on Russian infrastructure facilities have been attributed to Ukrainian military and security agencies.
In a separate incident, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) announced the detention of a dual Russian-Italian citizen accused of attacking a military airbase in western Russia with exploding drones and derailing a cargo train last month. The FSB alleges the suspect was recruited by Ukrainian military intelligence, adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing tensions.
As the conflict enters its 22nd month, the Ukrainian air force claimed to have shot down 18 out of 25 Iranian-made Shahed exploding drones and one of two air-launched missiles launched by Russia. Meanwhile, Russian strikes reportedly resulted in civilian casualties in various regions, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office reporting at least four deaths and 16 injuries between Thursday and Friday mornings.
The events underscore the increasing volatility in the region, with geopolitical ramifications echoing far beyond the immediate conflict zone. The international community closely watches as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues to escalate.

Нет никаких доказательств что взрывы организованы Украиной. ФСБ сами любят взрывать свои территории чтоб свалить на чеченцев, азербайджанцев, американцев украинцев ,...на инопланетян.
